AND TO ACCOMMODATE THE AU- THORITIES PLEADED GUILTY TO MANSLAUGHTER. Claimed to Have Slain a Man on the Gravois Road and Is Believed to Belong to a Good Now Jersey Family. Richard Morton, in jall at Clayton, awalt- ing transportation to the penitentiary, is a mystery. There is no certainty that the man's name indeed, it probaby is not. He says his family is quite wealthy; that they live in New Jersey, and that he has written home for assistance, but no an- swer has come. But who the relations are he will not state. Mor‘on has had as almost as much trouble breaking into the penitentiary as most men have in getting out. Many at Clayton believe he is not-entiJed to enter that institution, The county officials admit that they could never have sent him there had he not as- sisted them. The two years’ sentence imposed by Judge Hirzel upon this man after his plea of guilty to the charge of manslaughter recalis to public attention the tragedy on the Gra- vols road the evening of June 2. The victim was found lying in the road. He had been stabbed to death. In his pocket was found a memorandum book, bearing the name C. E. Creswick. Further than this the body was never identified. County officials learned that this man in company with two others and Richard Morton had been near Seim’s aloon the afternoon of June 2 drinking beer, which they carried in buckeis to a vacant lot. The officers could not learn who the men were, and had not the faintest clew to aid them in a search for the mur- derer. But Richard Morton stepped forward op- portunely and saved them fur.her troubie. For a year Morton had been a puzz.e tO residents of Kirkwood. He had been em- paved as laborer by J. A. McEuiroy, W. 8. ryant and others, but to no one would he apoek concerning his past. This caused the more comment, as he seemed above the work he was following. The latter part of April he drifted from K rkwood to Webster Groves and at that Pp ace Was arrested as a vagrant. He seemed cnnee at the prospect of being cared for the county and never murmured when Biven a jail sentence, He was released a few days before the murder on the Gravois road. On the night of June 4 a man walked into Webster and going to the home of the Constable knocked on the door. A window was opened and the stranger exclaimed: “i Want to give myself up ior murder,” “Who are you?” asked the Constable. “I don’t want anybody for murder.” “My name is Richard Morton, I killed a man on the Gravois road.” The Constable growled and told the man to fo away. He was sleepy and didn’t want to be disturbed. The stranger peepeted. He had killed a man and wanted to be arrested, Thus urged the Constable went downstairs, but he wasé not anx.ous to go any further. “If you have committed murder, why don't you go to Clayton, the county seat?’ he asked. “I'm broke and can't get there.” The Constable reached [nto h.s pocket and fished out a d.me, which he handed the stranger and then “closed the door. Mysterious Richard Morton boarded a car and went to Clayton. There he awoke Sher- if Kerth and repeated the story he had told in Webster. His reception at the county seat was different. He was warmly welcomed, was locked up and a charge of _—— in the first degree placed against ™m. The next day and for many days there- after the officials endeavored to find some evidence, as de from Morton's own claim that he committed the murder. But in vain. There was a conference and the re- sult was an appeal to the prisoner. Ag he had been accommodating .n the past, so he proved at this time. There was no poss bility of convicting him of murder in the first degree, so he was asked if he would plead gullty to man- slaughter.

DEPARTMENT IN CONFUSION. | ASSISTANT SECRETARY DAY IS AWAY AND MR. CRIDLER IS HAMPERED. Numerous Recent Blunders in State- craft and Foreign Complications Are Due to Sherman’s Mental and Physical Debility. —— Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. r WASIIINGTON, D. C., July 23.—Secretary | John Sherman will leave for Amagansett, L. | I., this afternoon in the hope of regaining health and strength. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Sherman. They will be the guests of James I. McCal- lam, who married their adopted daughter, and who owns a cottage at Amagansett. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman expect to remain at Amagansett until September 1, The evidences of the Secretary's illness are platniy vis'ble. He complains of not having felt entirely well since the trip to Nashville; but does not anticipate any se- rious results from his present :ndisposition. Dr. Johns‘on, Secretary Sherman’s attend- ing physician attributes his allments to the | intense heat, wh'ch Is especially debilitating to the two extremes of youth and age. The excessively hot weather, he says, has dis- |arranged Mr. Sherman’ digestion and caused other disorders which can only be 'erad‘cated by a change of climate. He does ‘not expect serious consequences if the Sec- retary follows his instructions and leaves this unfavorable climate. Dr. Johnston regards the apprehension felt by Mrs. Sherman and members of the Secretary’s family as having been natural and largely justified by h‘s condition. The illness resulting from the severe cold con- —— ee eician as lumbago. Mr. Sherman’s absence will again draw public attention to the state of affairs in the department of which he is the head in name only. The Department of State is In a chaoti* condition. The bewilderment and nervous- hess of its officials are apparent to the casual observer. The blunders of the Administration in that executive branch have left their im- print upon all the bureaus. The confusion of important and delicate diplomatic affairs, many of them involving the cordial rela- tlons of the United States and foreign Gov- ernments, promises to lead to the serious embarrassment of our transactions with three natiens of the world. Within a month the personal attitude and the official action of the Secretary of State have served to offend the representa- tives at the capital of Great Britain, Portu- gal and Japan. There is to-day practicaliy no head to the State Department. Mr. Sherman is failing mentally and physically, as already reported in the Post-D spatch |dispatches from Washington, and there is scant likelihood of his return to official duty for some time. Assistant Secretary Day, who would na- turally act as the head of the departm:-nt in the absence of Mr. Sherman, is in Ohio. Assistant Secretary Cridler, who was pro- moted from a bureau chiefship to the higher office, is hampered by the novelty of his work. This condit'on leaves Second Assistant | Secretary Adee the responsib'e head of the |department. He ‘s an experienced official ,of abundant knowledge and rare discretion. In the absence of Secre ary and the First Assistant, however, the discharge of diplo- ‘matic duties is necessar.ly impeded, as a |subord nate off.cial does not feel justified 'in transacting business, and matters gen- erally are held up.

LONDON, July 2.—A dispatch from Co- 'penhagen says that the report of the cap- ture of a carrier pigeon in the vicinity of ' Tromso Island, near the north pont of Norway, stamped with the words and fig- ures, ‘“‘North pole passed 15,"" is not true, TROMSOE, July 2%.—Andree’s pigeons were marked under their wings “Andree” land “Aftonbladet" © respectively.

TWO BULLETS FIRED INTO THE BODY OF DR. NORRIS, A LEADING PHYSICIAN. The Victim of the Father’s Vengeance Had Been Found in the Girl’s Room at 1 O’Clock Sunday Morning. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PALMYRA, Mo., July 2.—Last Friday night Daniel Rose found Dr. J. W. Norris in the bed-room of his daughter. This morn- ing, just before’9 o’clock, Rose met Norris on the street In front of the postoffice and shot him down with a revolver. After Nor- ris was down he drew a revolver and fired two shots at Rose, but did not hit him. Norris’ wound is supposed to be fatal. Daniel Rose avowed Sunday that he would kill Norris at the first opportunity. Since then Rose has been watching for him and this morning he concealed himself in the rear part of a store room and watched for Dr. Norris to go to the post-office, Just as Dr. Norris came along and was about to enter the office Rose shot him in the back. Norris fell to the sidewalk and while lying there drew his revolver and shot at Rose twice, but neither ball took ef- fect. Rose was immediately arrested, dis- armed and placed in jail. Dr.. Norris was conveyed to his home and Dr. Hays of Hannibal sent for, There is intense excitement in Palmyra, but no ene censures Rose for his act. Nor- ris was one of the leading physicians in Marion County. His wife is prostrated over the sad affair, and it is feared that she will not recover from the terrible shock. The general comment is that Rose was justified in killing the man who invaded his house- hold. The affair that caused to-day’s shooting has been the talk of the town since last Sunday. About 1 o’clock that morning Dr. Norris, a leading physician of the city, carried a ladder to the residence of Daniel Rose, a near neighbor, ascended to the second story of the house and entered the room occupied by Katie Rose, the pretty daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rose. The father and mother, who slept on the first floor, were awakened by a noise up- stairs, and believing that burglars had en- witH a butcher knife and ascended the stairs. On reaching his daughter's room Rose was horrified to find his neighbor, ‘Dr. Norris, in her apartment and partially dis- robed Rose rushed furiously on the doctor with his butcher knife, threatening to kill him on the spot. Norris, however, was the more powerful of the two men, and he defended himself so vigorously that Rose was soon disabled. He was badly bruised about the neighbors turned out en masse to help catch a burglar, as they supposed. This frightened the doctor, who ran out of the his own home and secreted himself in his barn. Miss Rose is 20 years old, fascinating and beautiful. The next morning after the sen- sational évents given above she and her father disappeared. Dr. Norrie has ap- peared as usual at his office, but has re- fused to talk about the affair, BEETLES BUNKOED. A Missourian Has Developed a Potato Without Vines and Bugs in Rifylke, .

Robbed of $165 While He Was En Route To or From Mera- mec Highlands, Charles Skay, a butcher at 1854 Park ave- nue, took $165 out of a safety deposit box a few days ago, believ.ng it would be safer in his inside pocket. That night Skay took a street car ride to Meramec Highlands and came back with- out his money. He d'd not know it-and he did not get drunk. He lost it while on the street car. The money did not drop out of his pocket; it was taken out by a nimble fingered ‘“‘gent.’’ Skay is positive of all this. He reported the theft to the police and a young detective said Skay had been “fighting too much poison.” F. Davis, 224 Clark avenue, has worried the police since Tuesday night with his complaint of losing a roll of bills on the NEAR THE END OF THE JOURNEY. ooo. s TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY, U. 8. A., BICYCLE CORPS HEADED HAVE TRAVELED 2,000 MILES. Lieutenant James M. Moss Says the Trip Has Demonstrated the Usefulness of the Bi- cycle in War. Lieut. James M. Moss, Twenty-fifth Regt- ment, U. 8. A., and his army bicycle corps, will reach St. Louis Saturday morning and pitch camp in Forest Park. During thelr stay the corps will be the guests of the Associated Cycling Clubs. Henry V. Lacas rode out to Laclede on Wednesday to tender Lieut. Moss the hos- pitality of the St. Louls wheelmen. At a wheelmen’s meeting tn Forest Park Thursday night it was arranged to have the visiting infantry corps camp south of the cottage. Quite a delegation of city wheelmen will run out the St. -Charies Rock road Saturday morning to escort them into town. After camp is pitched Uncle Sam's riders will hold a reception until dinner hour. At 1:30 o'clock a parade will form at the camp and move down Lindell boulevard to Grand avenue, thence south to West Pine and west to Spring avenue, where ranks will be broken. The paticipants will ride to the Pastime track, where an exhibition drill will be given by Lieut. Moss and his corps. The formation of the parade will consist of a squad of mounted police, the Branch Guards Bicycle Corps, Twenty-fifth United States Infantry Bicycle Corps, the City Streets Committee, Associated Cycling Clubs and unattached riders. The will form In squads of fours. The army riders will be tn camp Sun- day at Forest Park, where local tury a wheelman looks ofter a 2,000-mile Next week the corps will be the guests of their comrades at Jefferson Barracks, where they will await orders from the War Department. The men are all anxious to ride back to Montana, but in this instance their pref- erence is for a train. A glance at Lieut. Moss and his bicycle corps is an insight Into the real Hfe of a soldier tn timte of actual war. “We have endured every hardship except being shot at,” says the young lieutenant. The men look it. They are actually a lot of weather- beaten scarecrows. In the blinding heat of m'dday they ped- aled into Louisiana, Mo., Thursday down the dusty Frankfort road. They wore blue jeans jackets, brown canvass trousers, brown leggins and the soft gray army hat. Their blue short coats were strapped with their blankets across their handle bars. Across their shoulders hung the heavy rifle and around their wa'sts the ammunl- tion belt carrying fifty rounds of shot. The bayonet sheathe clanked against the wheel frames and the canteen hung like a me- dallion before the luggage on the handle bars. Once upon a time the colors mentioned ¢z- isted in their uniforms. BSoow, rain, un, dust and perspiration have reduced their outfits to neutral tints. Their leggins are gray. So are their gloves.

The absence of the Princess of Wales was explained by the presence of the Countess of Warwick, whom she has long regarded as her rival in the affections of England's ture King. The table was laden with gold plate and Sevres ware belonging to the house, Supper was served ‘mn a marquee on the terrace. Electric light was laid in for the occa- sion, most cunningsy hidden behind cor- nices, showing up the exqu-site paintings. THE WEATHER INDICATIONS. FAIR AND WARM. For St. Loule and vicinity—Fair and contin- ved warm Friday night and Saturday. For Missour!t—Increasing cloudiness and probd- ably showers Friday night and Saturday; slight- ly cooler Saturday. For Illinole—locreasing cloudiness Friday night; probably showers Saturday. The river at St Louls will continne to fall. The pressure is lowest in Ontario and South Dakota and bighest on the Gulf Coast. Showers were general from the Northwestern States eastward to the Atlantic. while gener- ally clear weather prevailed elsewhere The temperature changes were unimportant except in the Middle Slope Region, where there was a rise of from 6 to 10 degrees.

THE BRUTES WERE DFFIANT, BUT RETREATED UNDER FIRE AND ESCAPED. The Hunt Will Be Repeated Every Night by Captain Peter Reynolds’ Men Until the Canine Ban- F ditti Are Exterminated. | Following the suggestion of Park Com- missioner Ridgley, Capt. Peter Reynolds of the Mounted Police District sent four po- licemen out into the tangied wilderness of the western part of Forest Park late Thurs- day night with dark lanterns and revolvers. Until dawn they searched through the wildwood, up and down the gullies of the Diver des Peres, looking for a banditti of untamed mast'!ffs, an outlaw Band of six lusty pups reared in the jungle by an out- cast and hermit mother. Thursday’s Post-Dispatch related the ex- periences. of Bicyclist James Bellew of Skinker and Barnum roads. He ventured on his wheel into-one of the lonely paths of the wilderness early in the morning and Was attacked by the seven mastiffs. He escaped with a few scratches, but only after an exciting ride. The dogs slunk back to their lair after chasing him into the open. A year ago the mother dog ‘took up her abode in the wilderness and there littered the six pups. They have grown to massive size and, being reared in the forest and de- pendent upon their own foraging expedi- tions for subsistence, have become savage. The four officers who comprised the hunt- ing expedition left the Mounted District Station late Thursday night. This was to make sure that al! visitors had left and that stray bullets would not find anchorage in a human being. Besides, it was known that the dogs prowled in the night and over the ground several times and at day- light surrendered the chase.

TURNED DOWN Commissioners Accept Kellerman’s Bid and Labor Circles File a Vigorous Protest. —_— The contest of Westlake & Co. for the car- pen'e r work on the new City Hall bids fair to cause a lively row in labor circles and give not only the commissioners trouble, but also the Board of Public Improvements, The City Hall Commission held its third session on the Westlake bid Friday and $28 502, the lowest of a dozen, but the letting had been held up on the ground that West- take & Co. were irresponsible, and in former city contract work had been unsaftfsfactory, a majority of the work, it was said, having to be done over. At Friday's session held in the Mayor's office the Commission, on motion of Speaker Lloyd, of the House of Delegates, rejected the bid of Westlake & Co. and on motton of Comptroller Sturgeon accepted the bid of Conrad Kellerman, which was $33,100, the next lowest. But this does not settle the controversy by any means. The commission's power of rejection is not final, in fact it has no such power. It can only recommend to the Board of Public Improvements, and to that body the trouble ig transferred. Before the board the Carpenters’ District Council proposes to make it interesting for Kellerman, It has filed a protesitaga:nst Kellerman in which it is declared that he is an employer of non-union labor, and that on more than one occasion he has expressed his contempt for organized labor, declaring he would employ who he pleased and pay whatever price he could secure labor for. The Board of Public Improvements will take up the matter Monday at a special session. In the meantime it is understood that Westlake & Co. will sue out an injunction to prevent the board from awarding the contract to any bidder except themselves, NOTE FOR 100 YEARS.

His com.- mand fell in with a colored regiment and when he obtained rmission to make the trip it Was granted on condition that the volunteers come from his own regiment. Surgeon Kennedy is the only member of the corps not a volunteer. He was ordered t0 accompany the expedition and had to learn how to ride within a week. Like the Test of the corps he says he would make the oR over again if he had an opportunity. he rest of the men, excepting Bugler ceoeeen, were wheelmen. Everyone at F*, issoula rides. When Lieutenant Moes “asked for volunteers, he soon had men to ick hig squad from. While their wheels ere being made, the corps went into train- ing to harden themselves for expoeure. Ten days were spent familiarsing them with the new wheels, They learned to drill with their accouterments and luggage. The Sat- urday before their departure they gave an exhibition drill for their comrades at Ft. iag@oula, wpneey afiernoon at 6 o'clock they set out in a blinding rain storm.

I hope that from the outcome of this trip I may get that next year. I want to get a bottle of water from the Pacific and empty it in the Atlantic. “Before making that trip I will have a special bicycle built. The wheels we are us- ing now were built for this trip with extra heavy frames and’ tandem spokes. If I make the trip across the continent next summer I'll have a bicycle that a road rider wouldn't recognize. I'm not pre- pared to unfold my plans yet, but I think I can get up a wheel that will stand any kind of going without the necessity of con- Stant repairs. “One or two men could have made the trip from Missoula ten days faster than we did. We could have cut down our record three or four days, but there was no necessity for pushing the men. “The bicycle is such a delicate instrument that the more men you put on a journey of this sort, the more you increase your like- lihood o mishaps. There lies the interest of this test. We showed that a body o men could push forward constantly without delays. Those of us who were held back for repairs were enabled to catch up with the main body and at no time did we fall behind our average of 50 miles a day.’”’ Surgeon Kennedy says that some years aco he read Robert Lou's Stevenson's “Kid- napped,”’ and wondered if ever in his mili- tary career he wend have to under the hardships of heat and cold that Allan Breck and his Comppantee. qacures in their filght before the king’s soldiers. After what he has gone through in six weeks he says the story would make tame ing. “Heat and cold bothered us less than hun- ger and cold. We passed many sleepless nights shivering around the camp fire and Gays when the sun beat upon the baked earth that had never known shade, but orge than that was the torture of thirst ami the sickening feeling of starvation. The men stood the hardship wonderfully. They are peaked and drawn, but I harély think they have loet weight despite constant diarrhoea, I went through what they did and though I lost weight tn the first four hundred miles I have ga‘ned it back in hard- ened muscle.”’ Lieut. Moss, who has made a name for himself the world over by his daring trip is under 80 years of age. He graduate from West Point in June. 18M, and in Octo- ber was stationed at Ft. Missoula. His home is In Lafayette, La. He is about 5 feet 8 inches high, thin and wiry. He has refined features, despite the hardships he has courted, and his manners are pleasant, though he shows unmistak- ably the determination that is the keynote to his success.

Charles Green says he ds behind the North and South Railway project. “But it is news to me.” H. Overall, who amone the list corporators. “I never heard that Green had anything to do with it.

During the last week Mr. Green has been in conference with special agents of the Eastern capitalists at the Southern Hotel, but the Roeblings’ regular agent at Chica- go, Mr. Bailey, bir not appear. It ts sald by Mr. Green that his meetings with Promocer Sweeney were held in a saloon at the corner of Broadway and Meramec street, and John H. Blessing, the broker, was his finan- clal agent. Mr. Green is quoted as saying he is about to be revenged on the enemics who absorbed his fortunes by paralleling his tracks President E. F’ W. Meler of the Council Saye: “I don’t care who is behind the en- terprise. I say the bill was rushed through the Counc!!] with undue haste and without consideration by the people. The fact that one screet railway magnate is play'!ng ag ins: the other only tends to aggravate the case. I am still opposed to the biil.”’ "On this question of haste,”’ says Attor- ney Overall, ‘‘the bill was before the Rail- way Committee of the Council from May 27 to July 13. When it was reported to the Council] its opponents asked that it be laid over for one week, which was done. How much more time does a Counciiman want in which to read and consider a bill? “Another thing; a company has a right to dispose of its franchise or any other prop- erty without permission from the Municipal Assembly. The general law gives that right to every person or company. What the bill specifically asks for in that particular is the right to sell, lease or convey such of the franchise or property of the North and South Raliway Company as may be Necessary to enable the company to cross other lines or make connect.ons or pass over the tracks of other companies. James Campbell, the broker, who repre- sents the Fourth street bondholders, says: “It is undoubtedly true that Mr. Green is the power beh'nd the proposed road, The indications are that he will butid it, too. I know nothing about the matter, however, except from gossip and Mr. Green's own statement.” Mr. Green has won and lost two or three fortunes in the street railway business and it ia believed he will regain them all in the new scheme of grid'ronitng the city with roads that will parallel many others and be carried a much greater distance, reach- ing the city Iim’ts in both the southwest end northwestern sections.

I do not know who the company’s at- | aay night for the consideration of the Coun- torney is."’ “I will believe the statement that Mr. Green is behind the North and South Rail- way scheme when I hear it from Mr. Green himseilf,”’ said Councilman William M. Horton, who ¢s the leading figure in the opposition to the bill. “Il am a neighbor and friend of his, and he never intimated to me that he had any desire to see the Dill passed. “Neverthelese. my opposition to the meas- ure does not have anything to do with the men who are its promoters. The bill is wrong and the giving away of such a el-, gantic iranchise was wrong.”’ Mr. Green himself declined :o discuss the Statement that he is behind the North ana BSuuth Raiiway, but to a friend he admitted it was true, and that the persons associated With him are the Roeblings of New York and William Barr of New Jersey. Several weeks ago Mr. Barr and Turner Roebling were in St. Louis and had a meet- ing of the Fourth street raliroad bond- holders called, to offer a compromise for the settiement, on a basis that would turn the road over to them. They were treate1 with indifference, because they made no of- 1@ pay the interest on the floating debt. r. arr, who is a banker and capitalist at Trenion, threatened then to get even with the enemies of Green. The Roeblings re engineers and surface track buildera. hey constructed the great Brooklyn (nor Mr. cil’s unimportant amendmenis, which will probably be agreed to. The talk goes on, and there are Councilmen nant enough to bring the matter before the next Grand-jury Harry Scullin of the Union Depot Ralil- “Of course we have way Company says: a selfish tnterest In defeat n the North and South bill.

There {s only one road declaring a dividend, the Olive &treer line, and even that has been redu. ed from 8 to 6 per cent. Our road has de- clared one dividend in twenty-two years. This is a matter of public proof, because the law requires all dividend no ices to be pub- lished in the Remerepers, We have made money, yes. but nearly all of it has gone into betterments. “I suspected Green was behind the North and South Rallroad, for 1 saw him and Sweeney meeting in dark alleys and other out-of-the-way places. But we could have had that franchise. We didn't want it. “If the bill does pass, we shall fight It. It is clearly In violation of the third-parallel aw, for one thing, and not a public neces- sity. Neither Mr. Whittaker, Mr. Scullin Turner ever before heard of an of the corruption fund of $27,000 indig- to fit.

But the building was packed to the eide- walk doors with orderly, peaceful and law- abiding men who endured the heat and the harangues with intense earnestness in order to show their disapproval of Municipal Ae- sembly methods. The people were disappointed in the speak- ers. They had been promised an expression from such men as Rev. Dr. Boyd, Judson, Mr. Haeussler of the Tax League, Rev. Frank Tyrrell, ex-Gov. Stone and oth- ers of equal prominence. They were ad- dressed only by Walter F. Vrooman, Lee Meriwether and H. Martin Williams, consti- tuting the leaders of the new.y organized “League of Regular Democratic Ciubs. It was in every sense a representative aud'‘ence of working people and the private expressions of those who talked in the hall- Ways and lobbies were more emphatic and potential than the string of resolutions adopted. Waiter Vrooman was the first speaker and constituted himself chairman. e said the meeting was called not only to protest against a great outrage but to select a per- manent committee to inquire into further outrages and enable the people to organ-ze against them. The North and Soyth Railway bill, he said, was an infamous measure, rail- roaded through the Council without discus- 5.0On and almost without the knowledge of the Clty stepfathers and misrepresentat.ves. Then he harangued the crowd upon the growing discriminations made by corporate wealth against the poor, and appealed to those present to resist with every peaceable means in thetr power. H. Martin Williams was the next orator. He talked of the tendency of the pol.ee courts to fine the regu'arly licensed wagon that failed to get out of the way of the un- licensed street car, and called attention to _ single tax doctrine as a panacea for al! 8s. Lee Meriwether spoke eloquently against the North and South Railway bill, and urged that it be fought before the House and also with the Mayor, if it should pass. The cheers and applause were vociferous only when the speakers touched upon the Ziegenhein administration. Reso.ut ons were finally adopted express- ing the sense of the meet!ng .n opposition to the North and South Raliway. After a number of whereases reciting the condition of affairs, the document rec'tes: “Resolved, That a committee of seven be appointed by the chair to caise funds and engage legal! talent to at once exerc'’se ev- ery iegal effort to defeat and invalidate this bili, if passed, and to punish the culprits who are responsibie for its passage.’’ THe committee provided for the resolu- tions is composed of August Cehner. Ken. Eisman, Everett E-. ’att'son., Nathan Frank. F. N. Judson, John W. Noble and Lee Meriweiher, most of whos are prom- inent in the Civic Federation. A SPINSTER HAS RIGHTS. Mrs. Hagan Fined for Calling Miss Wall an Old Maid. A verdict in Judge Stevenson's court Fri- day settles the much mooted question whether a so-called spinster can be as at- tractive as a younger woman.

Wilkinson Children, Born in Poverty, to Receive $145,000 Each From Their Great Grandmother. Florence and Frank Wilkinson patted their bare feet on the floor of the parlor in the house of their aunt, Mrs. D. A. Wilkin- son, 3247 Minnesota avenue, Friday morning, as they told a Post-Dispatch reporter what they intended to do with the fortune they have inherited. Mary, the younger sister, cooed her approval. She is not old enough to talk. , The story of the Inheritance is peculiar and romantic. Away back in 183, as the family Bible of the Wilkinsons shows, Mary Rooney married John Acoff itn Philadeiphia. John was a thrifty man and Invested in Philadeiphia real estate, every cent that he could save. The investments went on and the family increased. Their original home was in Piqua, O. There, about fifty years ago, Frank Wilkinson was born. While Annie Acoff, a granddaughter of Mary Rooney, was visiting friends in Piqua, she met | Frank and married him. Frank was a carpenter by trade, and after- | wards came to St. Louis, where three chil- dren were born. His wife died five years ago and the family had forgotten all about tneir Eastern relatives. Wilkinson now lives at 1319 O'Fallon street, and Js in very modest circumstances. Last week he was visited by a brother of his wife. who told him .that Mrs. John Acoff, her grandmother, had died in Piqua, O., last June, and had left an estate val- ued at $8,000.00. Mrs. Acoff was 106 years old and left no will, . Investigation showed that there were a number of heirs and that the Wilkinson children would come into $145,000 each. “What are you going to do with money?” Frank was: asked, “T dunno.” sad he, “‘whether I'll go out and {ight Indians or go io Alaska and dig your gold. I'd like to be a street car conductor, | but papa says that won't do.” “What are you going to do, Florence?’ “Oh, I’m cone to bu.ld a big house where everybody can live, and then I’m going to give money to all my friends, so they can buy beaut ful dolls.’’ “The children build air casties all day long,.’’ said Mrs. Wilkinson, their aunt. “It would take millions to carry out all the plans they have made. Of course, the claims have not been proved ye:, but our proof is beyond controversy. and there is no doubt that the c'aim wll be allowed. We ex»mect to get the money from the estate in about two months.”’ Bachelor Doctors’ Club.

Harry Krebs, son of the proprietor of an express and baggage company at Third and Chestnut streets, gave Patrolman Flaherty a three-quarter mile race Thursday after- noon, which cost Krebs a ride to the Four Courts and a couple of hours in the cala- boose. Krebs had a customer Thursday who want: d some trunks taken to Union Station, omy had fifteen minutes in which to nrake the trip from Third and Chestnut streets to the depot, and as the fee he re- ceived would more than pay for the wear and tear of whip, horse and wagon, the youngster was soon bow!'ng west on Chest- nut street at a pace that the patrolman describes as a “whiz and a flash.” When the outfit passed the Laclede Hotel the wheels were touching the ground only in hich places. Patrol.ian Flaherty attempted to stop the horse, but the an'mal made a pleyful kick at h'm and sped by with Krebs laughing. The patrolman followed Krebs to the Union Station on a car and arrested him for care- less driving Krets had delivered his trunks before Flaherty arrived. NOBODY BLAMED.

The ordinary cartridges, when used in the Krag-Jorgenson gun, have been found to be too soft, and the lead has clung to the barrel of the rifle—finally clos- ing it—and the steel cartridges, which have succeeded the lead ones, have torn the bar- rel.

Mr. Charles Green is frank concerning his objects and methods in securing the “gridiron” franchise for the North and Bouth Railway. He says he secured it through Promoter Sweeney and others to recoup his fortunes and revenge him- self on his atreet railway competitors. The Post-Dispatch commends Mr. Green's frankness. We sympathize with his misfortunes, * We have not a word to gay in defense of his street railway com- petitors who have obtained a rich share of franchise loot, But the Post-Dispatch opposes Mr. Green's scheme. St. Louis must not be “gridironed,” the property of the people levied upon and their business streets blocked to recoup private fortunes and work out personal revenges. By his avowal Mr. Green has empha- sized the necessity of defeating the “grid. iron"’ railway job. A Chicago Alderman has run away rather than appear before a Grand-jury. Leaving Chicago is always the least of any two evils. — —— « THE OLUB-HOUSE HEAD. The House Committee of a fashionable olub at Newport has warned E.

So long as there are thousands of miles of impassable roads in this country, con- victs made insane by idleness are a re- proach to our civilization. — * -——- It is not surprising that the esteemed Springfield Republican of Springfield.

In a way the situation is appalling, for many of the industries are left practically without the Means of operation. Mines that are paying handsomely at Cook’s Inlet have been de- serted. “In my opinion there are just as good placer diggings to be found at Cook's Inlet as in the Klondike region. There is not a foot of ground in all that country that does not contain gold in more or less ap- preciable quantities. The great trouble has been that people have not had either the courage or opportunity, I do not know which, to thoroughly prospect the country. I think that in another month the coun- try about Cook's Inlet will be practically deserted.

When Moss left here four years ago he was a sturdy fellow, over 6 feet tall. From hardships and priva- tion, he is a cripple for lLfe and badly broken down in health. In three years he saw over 2,000 graves made in the Klondike Basin, a large major.ty dying from star. vation. The steams) p companies bring in all food and allow no private importation. Consequently, it is not untommon to go for weeks with but a scant supply, and for July 23.—Orders for miners’ supplies have been coming into the city by the hundreds and merchants: are unable to meet the enormous demand.

MISPRINT MAY SAVE A LIFE. Test of Prussic Acid Made With Ni- trate of Potassium Instead of Nitrite. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BATAVIA, N. Y., July 2.—Expert testi- mony in murder cases was given a terrific backset in the long drawn out Howard Benham trial here, Chemist Frank P. Vandenbergh of Buf- falo, who made the analysis of the viscera taken from Mrs. Benham’s body, was the star witness for the prosecution. His tes- timony showed that the woman had died from poisoning. Vandenbergh was a pro- tege of Dr. Witthaus of New York. Dr, Witthaus was called as an expert to offset the evidence of his former pupil. He succeeded in @ most unexpected and sen- sational manner. Prof. Witthaus was shown a copy of ‘‘Medical Jurisprudence, Forensic Medicine and Toxicology,’ written by him, in which the test for discovering prussic acid is given. He was asked if there was a mis- print in the line containing the words ni- trate of potassium. ‘There is,"’ he said. “‘What is the difference?” “It reads nitrate; it should be nitrite.” This is the strong point in the defense. Prof. Vandenbergh swore positively that he followed this test, which is based upon a misprint. This work is an acknowledged authority, therefore the many experiments and autop- sies held throughout the country may be likewise erroneous. If such be true a Startling condition of affairs is presented. This change of one vowel may saye Ben- ham’s life. Prof. Witthaus went on. to show that the chemical action of the two subjects produced opposite effects when used in making an analysis for prussic acid. He Swore that by using nitrate prus- sic acid could not be detected—in other words, prussic acid could not be found as Vandenbergh had testified he found it. TAMALE VENDOR'S WOES. Kicked From a Place Where He Hoped to Do Business. John Wallmer is a hot tamale man who makes a living peddling his wares from a tin boiler and a wooden box. He went down to Klausman’s Cave and etood on the sidewalk on the Broadway front and cried: “Hot tamales."’ Manager Hinzman, who has people arrested for not liking his show, came out and told Wallmer to move away. - Walimer refused to go and was promptly kicked away by the watchman. After awhile he came back and was again kicked along the sidewalk in the direction of Luxembourg. The kicking having no permanent effect, Wallmer was arrested and locked up because he cd spleased the auto- of South Carondelet. When his case was called before Judge Zimmerman Fri- = he cotuld not leased. As he departed he wanted to know what part of Carondelet Mr. Hinzman did not own.

A St. Louis Lawyer Puts the Occult Comether on an East St. Louis Cop. Attorney Joseph Whele-:s, who has an of- fice in the Century buildicg was the cen- tral figure in a peculiar early mornirg epi- sode wh.ch led to a startling scientific dis- covery. If the bright young attorney has many imitators, police courts will. sink into in- nocuous desuetude., Mr. Wheless’ d'scovery was that as a means of extricating oneself- from. the clutenes of a policeman, hypnotic sugges. tion is more potent than a pull and safer, if not more sure, than a pecuniary “irsult.”’ Mr. Whelesg is a hypnotist; he is one of the pub.ishers of a hypnotc magazine. He has been known to use his occult power in fore ng a hotel waiter to serve his di: ner prompt y, but his experience with a police- man was his first in that line. It is all the more vaiuable to. science from the fact that it was an East St. Louls police- man. It was this way. Mr. Wheless went to Union Station with a young woman who was going east for the summer. When the train started out Mr. Wheless found it hard to say good-by, and thought to defer the parting by riding as far as the Main street station with his cha: ming companion. The train was a fast express. It rolled past Main street station without even hesi- tating. Mr. Wheless thought he could leave the train at the Relay station in Hast Bt. Louis until he asked the conductor. Then he found that the next stop would be made ninety miles out. Going that far was out of the question. Visions of a large and growing law practice suffering from neglect rose before the at- torney, and he decided to get off that train and go back to his office at any cost. The train was leaving the bridge at the east approach when Mr. Wheless bade his fair friend good-by and jumped, landing safely on the trestle. He started to walk toward St. Louis, when he heard a babel of voices behind him. A dozen yardmen were waving their arms and a red-faced husky policeman was following him on the run. The policeman grabbbed him by the shoulder, yanked him around and headed him for the police station. “I'll charge you With stealing a ride and trespassing on the bridge,”’ said the police- man. “I’ve got you goin’ and comin’ so you might as well keep quiet.” Mr. Wheless kept quiet. He cudgeled his wits for a way out of the difficulty. When the police station loomed up a block away a bright thought struck him. He would hypnotize the policeman. He had not given the minion of the law any explanation of his presence on the bridge nor did he do s0. He concentrated his thoughts on his ex- perience after leaving Union, ending with this mental soliloquy, intended as a “sug- gestion’’ to the policeman. “T am a decent looking fellow, not at all the kind of man who would steal a ride. I don’t look like a hobo or a law-breaker.”’ All this he thought, but said not a word. He repeated this to himself until within a half block of the station, when the police- man suddenly released his arm and said: “Say, young fellow, you look all right; I don’t think you'd steal a ride or walk on the bridge if you. knew it was against the law. If you were a hobo I'd run you in, but I guess I'l! let you go.” And he did. An hour later Attorney Whe- less was telling his friends in St. Louls about his wonderfully successful experi- ment in thought transferrence. He will write about it In a treatise which he is now preparing for a law magazine. * them boxes? | chested and lantern-jawed.

TUOHY I$ ELATED. ——— —-sC— SAYS THE ARCHBISHOP IS A JUST MAN AFTER ALL. HIS) DEFENSE. DISCUSSES People of St. Patrick’s Parish Will Give a Picnic Celebrating Their Pastor’s Victory. Rev, Fr. Tuohy of St. Patrick's is in high glee over a letter he received Thursday evening from Dr. P. A. Baart of Marshall, Mich., who acted as his counsel in the re- cent hearing before the Archb'shop’s court of investigation. Dr. Baart says, among other thinge: You have undoubtedly won your case, The committee, after the answer and the speech, dared not report against you, The matter will be dropped, because the Archbishop found his reasons for removal could not be susta'ned. The reason why I did not speak positively to the reporters that you had won is because I feared the Archbishop might just for that reason remove you. That danger is now past. Nothing will be done. * * * Mgr. Muehlsiepen can not change you, and the Archb‘shop will not act while out of his diocese. That set- tles *t. “While I have felt all along since the hearing that we had won,” said Fr. Tuohy, “I am doubly assured to find Dr. Baart so confident. It was evident at the close of Look out for us. We're liable to roll in here on our own train.” This last was sarcasm, directed at his three companions. It was plain the old man, down in his heart, dreaded the jour- ney, and was sorry he had given his word. He didn’t quite believe all he had read con- . cerning the fabulous finds, like the young, men d:d.

FRIDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JULY 23, 1897. ssSPORTS OF THE DAY* WARTO THE SHOTGUN, MAY FOLLOW TUESDAY’S SESSION OF THE TURF CONGRESS. ECHOES OF THE MEETING. BOOKMAKERS AND TURFMEN DIS- CUSS THE NEW RULINGS. Secretary Aull Gives His Impressions of the Work Done at the Cincinnati Meeting. War to the shotgun! That is what promises to follow the re- cent meet of the Turf Congress. When the news of that meeting reached general circulation yesterday it created any amount of discussion among the horsemen. Said Abe Shepherd, the veteran book- maker and one of the most conservative men on the turf: “The action of the Turf Congress in doing away with the foreign book and outlawing the get of outlaw horses was justifiable. Someth!ng must be done and done quickly to purify the turf, else good-bye to it. The radical measures adopted by the Turf Congress are the first steps in the right direction. There has been too much looseness of management al] around recently and go much pulling and hauling of horses that the general pub- lic have become suspicious of the game and will have none of it. The money we are handling at the Fair Grounds now is what is called ‘smart’ money. It ise the money bet by owners of horses, touts and hangers-on of the track, all of whom have @ g00d line on the horses. As a result mone of the books are making money. In fact, nearly all are away behind the game. When the play was general you could make @ percentage book, and any good book- maker with a fair-sized bank roll could make a respectable living. Now that sort of 7-3 is out of the question and the man who draws on has to make a com- mon gamble of it. When dishonest owners and jockeys see there is no outlet § for them, that the Turf Congress will adopt no half-way measures in dealing with their cases, then we may look for honest racing all along the line. The bold stand taken by the Turf Congress at Cincinnati is the first lesson to this class and I believe it will prove of great benefit to the turf in general.”’ Barney Schreiber, perhaps the best repre- sentative of the St. Louls colony of book- makers, coincided with Mr. Shepherd in his views. “The foreign book,” said Barney, “does not | at the race track and the Turf Congress did well to wipe it out of existence. I believe the Congress did right, too, in passing the gule to outlaw the get of outlaw horses. t will cut down the number of that class of horses and in time, pndeod, will wipe out entirely the sort of horses that have been racing at the outlaw tracks, It will, of course, in this way bene- fit the legitimate breeder of thoroughbreds.” Col. Robert Aull, Vice-President and Gen- eral Manager of the Fair Grounds Associa- tion, has returned from Cincinnati, where he represented his organizat'on in the spe- cial meeting of the American Turf Con- gress. Accompanying him back were several rominent horsemen, and they sat in the udges’ stand at the track Thursday after- noon. Among them were W. S. Barnes and Lou's Straue, breeders of Lexington, Ky., and Mr. Charles Green, the St. Louis cap- jtalist who recently bid in the Lexington race track at the foreclosure sale. The Turf Congress meetings are always conducted behind closed doors. But what is transacted there generally gets out. Col. Aull refuses to d'scuss the sensational en- counter between Col. M. Lew:s Clark, pre- siding judge at Harlem, and Ed Corrigan, the master of Hawthorne, in which the lat- ter looked into a cun’s muzzle pointed by the Louisv'lle turfman. Col. Clark held that Corrigan was behind & move in the congress meeting called for the one purpose of giving Harlem a black eye. When Col. Clark entered the room in the + Nicholas where the sess ons were held e surveyed the occupants of it and let his eyes rest upon Corr gan, Then picking up a legal-looking document from the table in front of him and waving it defiantly, he said in a cool, collected and measured tone of voice: “I here hold in my hand a written agreement. It is signed by Edward Corr'gan. In that agree- ment Mr. Corrigan pledges himself to lease to the management of Hariem his Haw- thorne track for a period of one month, with the privilege of four. On that agree- ment the Harlem Racing Ax«sociation has already paid Mr. Corrigan $9.000. In this agreement Mr. Corrigan has pledged h'm- self not to do anyth ng or to use his in- fluence in any way against the race meet- ing at the Harlem track.” “d Corrigan. looking etrai@ht at Col lark, and half rising from his chair. said: ou’re a liar!” Ovl. Clark, with a quick movement to his Rip pocket, brought out a big 44 Colt’s re- volver and yelled: “You're a blankety- weak oy and I can prove it.” As the Colonel's eye ranged along th ‘ & shining barrel of the revolver, with its ugly muzzie pointing etrairht at the giant form of — epee Bg Hawthorne, there ely scramble.

BUT MANY OF THE CRUSADERS ARE TOO FOOT-SORE ‘TO WALK. GEN. BRADLEY TO GO ALONE. HE SAYS HE WILL BRING MUR- PHYSBORO MEN TO BELLEVILLE. The Striking Army Has Arranged to Have Its Members Shaved by Contract at West End Park in Belleville. The coal miners’ strike in St. Clair County ia now complete. Not a pick was lifted Friday. As was told in the Post-Dispatch, all the men in the immediate vicinity of Belleville quit Thursday morning when the mines which had been in operation were visited by delegations of strikers. The four mines on the Illinols Central around Freeburg, the Wilderman, St. Clair, Richland and Freeburg, were not visited because the distance was too great. At midnight twenty-five strikers left Belle- ville to pull out the Freeburg men. They divided and visited all the mines. The men were asked to quit and did 6o without par- ley. The strikers are still camped at the West End Ball Park. Gen; Bradley is unde- cided what step to take next. Many of his followers are footsore and unable to march. It is seventy miles to Murphysboro. There are mines strewn al] along the line and but few places in which the commissary could replenished. announced Friday morning that go South alone in the evening and attempt to get the men out without the army. If he does the strikers will remain here until he returns, He had just left the Western brewe when a reporter saw him. He had a chec for $25 in his pocket. It made him com- municative. “I will go forward tonight,” he said. “I will get the Murphysboro men out and brin a big delegation up here to join my forces. “What for?" “For a general comin ee. They are divided. em together for a general good together of the I want to’ bring h time. My men are unable to walk, and as I cannot take them into Murphysboro, I will bring urphysboro to them.” The Belleville people are growing im- patient with the vacillating General. They sympathize with the miners and have con- tributed generously to the support of the invaders, but the prospect is that they will have to carry the local men on their credit books for some time, and they think the Gene should move on with his forces instead of bringing reinforements where there is nothing more to be accomplished. The local miners met at the West End ne House Hall at 9 o’clock Friday to organize. The meeting was secret, but it was learn that they decided to stand by the scale adopted Thursday and elected the a haar | officers: Wm. Green, President; Joseph Roberts, Vice-President; Arthur Powell, Secretary: Joseph Hoffman, Treasurer. The scale adopted, as told in late edi- tions of the Post-Dispatch, was as follows: Hiand miners, 40c per ton, mine run, gross weight, 2,000 pounds to constitute a ton. Loaders after mining machines who shoot their own coal and timber their own places, 2c per ton, miners to furnish all supplies. Machine runners, 40 per ton and machine helpers, 8c per ton; tracklayers, per day, 26; timbermen, $2.25; drivers, $2: cagers, : trappers, 7bc. Laborers inside not less than $1.75 a day; laborers on top not less than $1.00 a day; dumpers, per day, $2; box-car laborers not less than $1.85 a day; car pilers, $2. t was decided to restrict the output by hand miners to six tons a day; loaders after machines to nine tons, and machine run- ners and helpers to tons a day. This will limit hand men to §2.40 a day, loaders to $2.26, machine runners to $2.40 and helpers to $1.89. Resolutions were also adopted denouncing as untrue various statements of operators which have appeared in Belleville and St. Louls papers. Thursday night the Belleville miners and the visitors paraded behind a drum corps and were addressed by Gen. Bradley from the Court-house steps. The refusal of the men to permit even the emall local mines to operate has caused some consternation... The two breweries, however, have a large supply on hand, the pam and skein works have several car oads and eeveral other plants are closed for repairs. The electrio light wer-house can use siack, of which an abundant amount be obtained It is the first strike in which no coal has been mined for local purposes. This indi- cates the determination of the men. They insiet that they do not wish to an- tagon-ge local industries, but are compelled in self-defense to make the shut-down ab- Solute, because if any is dug, some wil! be confiscated by the railroads and shipped into the market. Gen. Bradley has telegraphed home for black Prince Albert suit and s‘lik hat. expects to astonish the Egyptians when © goes into their country, Arrangements were made Friday for a Wholesale shave at West Find Park. A couple of barbers will go out and the men will enjoy the'r first “scrape” since leaving home. It is probable that a local settlement could be procured in a day or two. but the men will not go back to work unt!] the na- tional strike is settled. Genera! James Taylor and his crusaders from O'Fallon arrived at Rreese Thureday and went to both the Bast and West mines. The men all agreed to strike and romised that after 2 o'clock no more coal ld be loaded in cars. A subscription was taken up among the miners and Gen- eral Taylor received $14.60. The miners at Breese did not come out for ty athy, but for the wages due them un- er the scale. They were receiving 22 cents and their scale is 8 cents. The Breese men are ready to organize and an organizer Will be sent ihem at once.

PITTSBURG, Pa., July 23.—The arbitra- tion Commissioners who are trying to settle the coal strike have finally succeeded in getting the consent of a majority of the operators of the Pittsburg diswict to join in a general conference for the purpose of discussing the true uniformity plan. The date for the conference has not been set, but it will be fixed for some day within the next week and will probably be Monday or Tuesday.

The Need of Coal Sorely Felt at Many Points. The Armour Packing Company at Kansas City is having a hard time in supplying its furnaces with fuel. The lilinois Glass Co. at Alton has been compelled to shut down. Seven hundred men are out of work. The Bloomington, I1l, Brick and Pavin Co. has ceased operation; 120 cars of coa come eee the stock of coal at the idle local shafts. There its hardly a town in the Indiana coal region but is feeling the injurious effect of the strike in the scarcity of fuel, Many factories at Streator, Ill, have been forced to suspend work. The Consolidated barb wire factory at Joliet, [ll., has closed down ils galvanizing and drawing departments on account of the searcity of coal, throwing 20 men out of work. In Southern Illinois wheat threshing has been seriously interrupted, because it is im. possible to obtain coal. ALL QUIET NOW. Troops Called Away From Mercon, Ga. —Oscar Williams’ Boy Was Lit- erally Shot to Pieces. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MACON, Ga., July 23.—Al is quiet here this morning and the troops which have been guarding the jail have gone home, but are holding themseives in readiness for a sudden call to arms. The mob which on Wednesday night planned the wholesale lynching of condemned prisoners, has scat- tered and it is generally supposed that the lynching of Williams and prospective exe- cution of Mrs. Nobles, Gus Fambales and Tom Allen satisfies them. The body of the dead negro was sent in a wagon yesterday afternoon to Williams’ father, a respectable colored farmer. Os- car was the second one of his sons who had met death at the hands of a mob and the old man’s grief was terrible. The burial took place in the front yard. The body was liteally shot to pleces.

The House bill was passed authorizing the President to suspend discriminating duties imposed on foreign vesels and commerce Mr. Allison then moved to proceed with the tariff conference report, but Mr. Till- man contested this with a motion to take ‘up his Speculation in sugar stock. Mr. T.ilman was about to begin a speech when Mr. Allison made the point of order ' that debate was not in order and the presid- jing officer sustained the point. Mr. Till- ' man thereupon asked for a yea and nay vote on which his motion was lost—yeas, 15; nays, o. Those who voted for the motion were: Allen, Bacon, Bate, merry, Cannon, Chilton, Ciay, Harris, Kenney, Mills, Roach, Till- man Turley, Turner and Walthall. A joint resolution was passed for the erection of a Government buliding at the Transmississipp! International Exposition at Omaha. The consideration of the tariff conference report was then resumed and Mr. Teller of Colorado took the fioor for a general speech. He said he did not favor the pend- ing bill and did not believe it would ac- complish the purposes of its friends. Its passage, however, would dispose of the question and enable Congress to devote its attention to other subjects. He regarded the money question as the paramount one, The last campaign was not, in his judcg- ment, an indorsement of the gold standard. A great many people who voted for the Republican candidate did not believe in the | gold standard, but felt that the tariff ques. tion was more important than that affect- ‘ing finance. Mr. Teller turned his atten- tion to the political methods of the last campaign. It was the most remarkable contest in our history, he said; remarkable for the agencies set at work and the meth- ods employed for the first time. A system of terror:zing, of deception, of fraud, the like of which had never before been seen, was put in operation. And hav- ing been successful in this, the Senator expressed the fear that such methods had become a permanent part of our. political system until the poor e were aroused and repudiated them. If anyone challenged these statements, then Mr. Teller said he would go into details. TRADERS PROTEST. Oppose a Redistribution of Patronage in Indian Territory. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23.—Congress.- man Odell of New York, Chairman of the Committee on Accounts of the House, has refused to allow the accounts of the under- taker who had charge of the funeral of the late Congressman Cook of Llinois. The Mr. Odell claims that this is exorbitant and he has thus far refused to allow the bill. Mr. Odell claims that many of the items of the bill are out of proportion to the value of the services rendered. He particularly objects to the charge of $0 for embalming the remains, which he declares is three times as much as undertakers usvally ask in New York State. The charge of $3b0 for thinks altogether too great. Then, too, the funeral director asks £5 for the three days he was engaged in traveling between here and Chicago, whith Mr. Odell says is mote than his own salary as Congressman for the same time, and he does not believe that the services of an undertaker are more yal- uable than those of a Representative. | os eee eee eee «ee st D OF HER HAIR -— —_— MAMIE BOERNEMANN’S BACK- YARD ADVENTURE, FURNISHINGS pee may ok 100 dozen men’s Linen and Celluloid Collars, Rosenfeld’s price, 10c and lc.

When a short-haired buxom maid opened the door the old Mdy looked at her frigidly and said: “Is Mamie in?’’ “I'm Mami e,”’ said the girl, smiling. “Well, I don’t want you; I want Mamie Boerremann, my daughter.”’ “Wiy, mother, don’t you know me?” said the girl. The smile had faded away and there were tears in the short-haired girl's voice. Mrs. Boernemann eyed her critically and decided that she was her daughter, though MAMIE BOERNEMANN. —— GRANT FACTION WINS. Eddie Green Not Recognized in Texas Appointments. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D-C., July 2.—The break in the deadlock over Texas fourth-class post-offices was brought about by Dr. John Grant, Nat’'onal Committeeman, and his friends. The appointments thus far have been all Grant men, and the friends and fol- lowers of Ne Chairman Eddie Green are ve much wrought up. The Green faction has been attacked in another quarter. Sam H.

Mother and daughter sobbed on each other’s shoulders and mourned the lose of Mamie’s tresses, which had been the pride of the house of Boernemann. Before Thursday night Mamie had a be4au- tiful head of golden brown hair. When she greeted her mother Friday morning her crowning glory had departed. Mamie does housework for Mrs, Guhman, widow of Dr. Guhman. She says her locks were forcibly taken from her Thureday night by two negroes. As Mamie tells the story, she was at work @ kitchen Thursday afternoon when eh) cadaverous mulatto wearing a slouch at and a brown suit, looked through the window and asked her for something to eat. Mamie told him she had nothing to spare. The negro turned and walked away, but re- turned to the window and said: “Don't I t any grub?’ Th. Sa ag sa!

It was very dark where the assault took place, but Mamie says she recogniged the mulatto’s voice, “I think they must have used razors,” said Mamie Friday, “because I didn't hear | the snip of a pair of scissors." | The news of Mamie’s loss reached her | parefts at 3223 Franklin avenue late Thura- day night and led to the mother’s visit Friday morning. LAWS VIOLATED. And 1,500 Missouri Policy-Holders Are Interested in the Outcome. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, Mass., July 2%.—Gen,. J. M. Lewis and Mr. A. F. Harvey of St. Louis, the latter actuary of the Insurance De- partment of Missourl, are in this city look. ing into the affairs of the Massachusetts Benefit Life Association, in which there are sald to be 1,800 Missouri policy holders. Acting under the orders of Gen. Wolcott, Attorney General Knowlton has investi- gated the affairs of the company. In his report Mr. Knowlton says: “The facts may be thus summarised. Under the guise and pretense of an asso- ciation for charitable and benevolent pur- oses, seven persons formed a corporation or the purpose of carrying on business for profit. They obtained a charter under by-laws which they proceeded forthwith to change in @ way which if known would have prevented them from obtaining charter. They invited the co-operation of the public in this so-called charitable en- terprise, first, b Cosetiping the policy- holders as members, which was untrue; and afterward as benefit members, which was misleading, Despite the protestations of the Insurance Commissioner they pro- ceeded to carry on this business, which was legalized in . s im le to ve that the policy holders knew how profitable the business was in the Soepecenes) and | lp entirely probable that the members the corporation well understood the ig- norance of their policy holders, and no pains to inform them. And when su quently the burden of assessments was like- ly to increase, instead of reducing their profits they took advantage of a permissive statute to draw on their fund avaliable for death benefits In a way which atfll further enlarged their pease. ‘The illegality of the business of the com- pany prior to 188 seems to have been rat- fied and legalized by the Le ture. Whether any remedy exists for policy holders, of whom I am informed there are some Pry ag it is unncoessnes to sider, as that is a matter exclusively the poses holders themselves, one in spect to which the commonwealth has neither duties nor right. “The question whether those trangac- tions amounted to embesziement or ¢crimi- nal misappropriation of the funds of the association requires a more extended inves- tigation into the affairs of the company. I have cosmmunicated the facts stated to me, to the prosecuting officer, th a re. quest that he give the matter attention.” HBLD BY HOBORS.

Attorney McGinnis Is Making a Strong Fight for Himself and His Co-Defendants. eleven poker, Mc- of the of the of the Attorney Lou McGinnis and, his companions, charged with playing were before Judge Peabody Friday. Ginnis acted as the legal advisers defendants, and, with the consent City Attorney, elected to try one number, Frank Harvard, first. Before the first witness was put on the stand Attorney McGinnis asked that the witnesses be put under the rule. Judge Peabody refused to allow this to be done, declaring that he had no facilities for that purpose. The attorney said Judge Withrow accomplished thie by sending the witnesses into the ante-room back of the City Attor- ney’s office. Judge Peabody was obdurate, however, and allowed all the witnesses to femain ‘n court. The police showed their determination to convict in these cases by dismissing the charge against two other defendants, Rob- ert Blake and Frank Carson, and using them as witnesses. Attorney McGinn's, when he learned this fact, declared that this was a part of the tm 4 of persecution pursued against him yy the police. He alleged that the detectives had prom- ised Biake and Carson immunity from ar- rest in the future as a reward for their turning informers. Detectives Hatton, Keeley and Williams testified to having arrested the defendants, and to hav'ng captured a deck of cards. poker chips and $1.25 lying on the Blake and Carson testified to having play- ed with the other defendants on the day of the arrest. They sa‘d the game was whist, not poker, and the stakes were 25 cents a “oorner.’’ The said that poker was usually jlayed tn the rom, which was run by Oscar taymond and Jos. Jufroid, who looked after the “‘kitty.’’ After the city had closed its case Attor- ney McGinnis asked that the coses against four of the defendants be dismissed, as there was no evidence against them. Judge Peabody agreed, and the cases of Singleton Cave, Frank Harvard, William Green and Robert Arnold were ‘‘nolle prossed.”’ City Attorney Clover then asked leave to amend the information against the other six defendants, so as to charge them w.th gambling, which offense covers all forms of playing cards for money. Attorney McGinnis assented and then filed a motion for a change of venue. The mo- tion was granted and the cases will be transferred to the Osceola street court. Search for an Estate. Robert C. Morris of Greenville, IIL, has written to the Clerk of the Probate Court eating about an estate supposed to have left by rete | Alvin Clark. He says Clark was marti to Miss Viola Yeck of Woburn, Ill, He served a brief term in . nand afterwards went to live with the © Some time later he left her and has ‘ not been heard of since. Mr. Morris says he has reason to believe Clark left an estate of some value. Clerk eee, says he has no record of any estate of Elroy Alvin Clark. BEARS RAID THE PIT. Messrs. Milliken and Haarstick Give the Bulls a Turnover. John T. Milliken and Henry Haarstick, who have been leading the bul! side of the St. Louis market, switched around Friday and manipulated a bear raid. They were good and long and when they started to unload both here and in Chicago, the pit was in a furore, September wheat, which had opene® at Totec, sold down gradually to T3tec, then suidenly broke to 7 This was 2'2c down frorn Thursday's close and 2%c down from the > ogg here was a si.ght rally, however, at the close and it sold up again to 72%c, wath 72%,.@72%c bid, but closed at 72%c asked. July, August and December shared in the deciine, but cash wheat was only about a haif cent lower. Both operators cleared heavily on the movement. There was no sign.ficance in the decline save the efforts of the big traders to realize. : Operators anticipate a further drop as the farmers may beg n to ship wheat when they see the market going aga.nst them. Cables were &% higher than on Thursday and in other respects conditions were clined to be bullish. NOT A REAL SALE. Decker & Bro. Fail to Get Possession of Some Pianos. Decker & Bro., the piano manufacturers, filed an application tin the Circuit Court Friday morning in the case of the ass gn- ment of W. T. Bobbitt, the piano dealer who made an assignment a short time ago. Decker & Bro. set up that they sold a lot xf planos to Bobbitt, but last December, finding that he was in shaky condition, made a bargain with him to protect them- seives. They had him sell the pianos back to them and then they consigned them to him as agent. When the assignee took charge he took the Decker p'anos with the rest, Decker & Bro. wanted Judge Talty to make an or- der instructing the assignee to separate these pianos from the general assets, but he refused. He said that the transaction wae not a real sale and that the Decker pianos would have to go in as assets along with the res: of the property. The petiton was then withdrawn by Attorney Jamison, who said he would establish his case before the as- Signge. 9i " oe » . in- Stole Two Revolvers.

Prussia Annie Junod Failed to Recognize John Thiele. ‘Annie Junod, the child who was assaulted at Woodlawn last April, was taken to Clay- ton Friday morning. It was thought she might identify John Thiele as her assailant. This she failed to-do and the county authorities are once more at sea concerning the criminal who escaped pursuit by posses. Thiele is believed to be insane. He is charged with attempting to assault Bertha Wahkin, aged 12, and Anna Manners, aged 10, on the Hunt road, near Natural Bri ge road, Thursday afternoon, Several persons were attracted by the childrens’ screams, and Thiele was soon hedged in by twenty or thirty men. The knocked him down and cries of “‘Lync him!’ were heard. Had there been a rope handy such would probably have been his fate, but while one man went in pursuilt- of the necessary hempen cord Special Constable John Han- son appeared, rescued the man, and took him to Clayton. Thiele lives with his mother at 1918 Mont- somery street. He is 34 years old, and fheae who know him say he is half-witted. CHARGED WITH FORGERY.

Aside from the brickyards the first shut- down on account of lack of coal in St. Louls took Place Friday morning when Scott & R:charz, printers at 110 South Ninth street suspended operations. The firm was not unable to obtain coal but unwilling to meet an advance of 30 per cent Over the price it had been paying. Scott & Richarz had @ contract with. the Consolidated Coa] Compan y. under th terms of which it was supplied with “tork- "When ts Le a ton. eir SUpp.y Was running low the _— to Sa! Agent Crabb of the Ceasel, do would bere ed theme that all he could supply t i coal, price $8 « —e 5 em with Kentu_ky Rel refused to accept this offer, thinking they could get coal cheaper, but were un- able to do so, Like most other contracts drawn up by the coal companes, this firm's contract with the Consolidated contains a clause making it inoperative in case of strikes. At the Consolidated company’s offi e it was sad Friday that the company would Supply outside coal to customers at actual cost price. This price will necessarily be much higher than that charged for Illinois coal when the mines were running. here is no present indication of a coal famine so far in East St. Louis. The railroads are rece!ving com aratively little coal these days, but most of the man- ufacturing and other industrial plants took time by the forelock and laid in large sup- lies of fuel. If the strike is sett) with- mn @&@ month it is not likely that East St. Louis factories will close down. The National Stock Yards have an ample Supply for nearly a working month. Tne yards received twenty-six car loads” last week in addition to from thirty to forty cars already on hand. The yards consume about four car loads daily, and it is claimed they will be able to get all they want. The Elliott Frog Works officials assert that they have a sufficient supply on hand to run the works thirty days and do not anticipate a close-down. The Tudor Iron Works have a big supply and will not be forced to shut down on ac- count of the strike. The Kehlor Millis are supplied with sixty cars of coal and have placed the dusky dia- monds in a large bin near the levee to make sure that they do not get away. The Kehlors say they can tide over a long siege and have coal ‘‘to burn” at the end. TRANS-MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS. Return of the St. Louis Dejegation From Salt Lake City. W. H. Moore and others returned Friday morning from Salt Lake City, where they attended as delegates the tenth session of the Trans-Mississipp!

Court Judge Loses Patience With Mrs. Kate Costel!o. Mrs. Kate Costello was fined $10 Friday L. » «eavoay tor d.sturbing the peace of Andy O'Malley, Mrs. Andy O'Malley and several little O’ Malleys. O’ Malley lives at 2116 Austin street. He testified that Mrs. Costello emptied a crock of slops on his head. Mrs. Costello, who is an old woman of ample proportions, wanted to tell the court all about the origin of the feud between the O’Malleys and the Costetiog, but the Judge insisted on her confinin erself to the specific disturbance of July 271. The old lady earnestly protested that she had only thrown the crock at O’ Malley when the latter had a brick up to the forehead of her husband and was on the point of crush- ms his skull. udge Peabody seemed irritated at Mrs Costello's manner, and choked her off by fining her $10 and ordering her the stand. The old woman tottered feebly from the stand to a chair in front of the Clerk's rail, from which she was hustled by one of the deputy marshals. She sat down on one of the swing reclining chairs furnished for jurors, and when she leaned back her heavy weight threw her back, almost throwing her upon her head. — The spectacle of the helpless old ween floundering in the chair, unable to right her- self and crying for assistance, brought a laugh from the unfeeling spectators. Judge Peabody, then, in a loud, an voice, com- manded the ~- ‘emena to take the woman out of the court, The marshals, sympathizing with the old woman, were rather slow in obeying the summons, ont cose Peabody shouted for Chief Deputy Smith. “The idea of you marshals allowing the court to be insulted and abused and defi in that manner by that old wo thing I can’t comprehend,” cri “Send for the Chief Deputy and have put out.” Mrs. Costello was taken back to the cage in a rather forcible manner, which s0 angered a number of her male relatives in the audience that they ran to her assistance, rotesting aga‘nst such treatment of a help- ezs old woman. For a time it looked as though there would be trouble between them and the marshals, but quiet was finally re- stored, and the Costellos left the court- room. Later a police summons was issued against Mrs. . Meyers of Scott avenue on O’Malley’s complaint, he alleging that she was also instrumental in disturbing his peace. Raffle Tickets in the Mail.

MN FRIDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JULY 23, 1897. IDLE HANDS: HIINGER’S PANES SS _ DESTITUTION FOLLOWS CLOSELY [NW THE WAKE OF THE STRIKE IN PENNSYLVANIA. MANY LIVING ON RAW WHEAT. FOR YEARS STARVATION WAGES HAVE BEEN THE MOST THE MINER COULD MAEE. The Prolongation of the Struggle Sure to Lead to Riot, Bloodshed and the Destruction of Property. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. SEWICKLEY, Pa., July #.—Hunger, in ite most horrible form, is threatened in this coal district. It exists to-day, but is not general. Ungrudged money and the best inventive genius combine to make Moon Run Mine a veritable Klondike to fts owners. Yet it is not working. The muscle ready to dig it and the money spent to handle it are enough to take from the soil of the United States just twice the coal its millions require. To at all permanently cure the deathly de- Cline of this great industry our population and manufacturers must be doubled or the number of miners halved. In all the impos- eibility of either the operators talk of as- signments and the miners hunger. To-day I saw four children eating wheat. They had gieaned it from the stubble or stolen it from the yellow shocks of the nearest farm. It was cut but a week ago and was not cooked to-day. Big, clean kitchen pots and pans hung upon the wall, shining in pathetic useless- ness. Wheat husks lLittered the floor and there was a soap box half filled with par- tially hulled kerne's. The mother had tried to invent some way of cooking the stuff, but she had no lard, could not make even a soup, and the sad-faced children aie raw wheat. The mother, unnerved by the little ones’ athetic bravery, turned away and rubbed ard at a tin stew pan, bright from long disuse and much polishing. She said: “America? It’s only to sleep, to wake up hungry. And only to sleep and to wake up hungry again,” She fiercely turned, and her eyes flashed through their tears. “The poor children! I tell you, I've often thought to kill them—it would be no crime! They ain't to blame for being born. It ain't right for ‘em to have to starve!’’ found some cases of whining deceit, but the word “starve’’—in this case, at least— shot from its conventional agitator’s use into keen, horrible, human craving for food! The husband had just returned from beg- = . In the near-by town of Chartiere he had obtained 8 cents. A quarter of a loaf of bread will be the sole support to-night for this family—man, wife and six children—un- less some neighbor helps or friendly farm- ere give them milk. Soon will be trebled the half dozen families whose children fill craving stomachs with raw wheat. Mr. Sanford, manager of the mining company, knows all this, but says that the late reports of death from hunger are unjust. He admits it may come, if near- by towns do not respond more liberally to the Commissary Committee's plea for aid. “If our men wouid work for the same price as De Armitt’s—50 cents a ton—we could ¢gell coal at such a price as to secure gnough contracts to run on full time. But the men struck against the proposition when it came to si mane. (pele contracts; verbally they re} se The men simply point out that if they accept lower wages for more work now, others will do the same: other companies will again take their present share of coal contracts, the Moon un Mines will then not be able to work their promised six days a week and all Pennsylvania miners, to- gether with those of other following States, will then be just as badly off. Biting hunger ane © reduction of wages are not conditions a ; The company payrolls, the books of the miners, “check weighman,”’ the company Officials and the men themselves correspond in showing the average wages for a day’s work to be $1.38. The more skilful men and the most industrious make more than this. They as a rule have flour in the house and are yet paying cash for small pleces of meat at the local store, whose head clerk swelled with miser pride when he said: No, sir, we don’t give no credit: not 1 cent. We ain't trusting them. Miners ain’t @ starvin’ yet. Why, broke a $20 bill for one of them this morning.” During the last six months the average Moon un miner has hardly covered his imy palm with silver, as coming out of is pit on Saturday he found in his ay en- velope just $4.80 for two weeks work. It is not because the company has robbed him, nor because he has been lazy or hurt. It is only because the number of days worked and the amount of coal he has been allowed to mine each day have been too small, ‘‘too many men for too little coal.” From the average $1.25 a day comes the blasting powder’ oil and blacksmithing of coos, topetber wit the miner's share of the — welghman's salary, This nips off 7 Sixty cents a month for medica! atten Slices another two precious coppers. fone miner's self, wife or children, s ; re 20 well as with it.

No wonder the men strike,and less wonder that the public and every operator worthy tho name of man Sympathizes with them.

BOUND THE WRONG MAN. Two Sick John Murrays Cause an Em- barrassing Mistake. A case of mistaken identity worked a de- cided hardship on John Murray, a patient at the City Hospital. He has been a pa- tient there for several weeks and i8 weak and helpless from a long malarial attack. Murray was aroused from a sleep Thure- day and found some hospital attendants and a Deputy Sheriff putting straps around his ankles and wrists. He could not im- agine what this was for and made inquiries, “Well, you are a nervy one,” said the Deputy Sheriff, as he continued to tighten the straps on the man, who was too weak to turn over In bed unassisted. Murray was bound securely to the cot and was then in- formed that he was wanted in court for case and proceeded to scuffle with him, making | and disturbance as he the : Smith was locked up at the Four Courts, | King visited him in the calaboose cage | him out of trouble. | obtaining money under false pretenses and had jumped his bond. He was pinioned, so he was informed, in order that he could not escape. He protested his innocence and said he had been in the hospital for nearly a month. He begged that the straps be removed and said it was impossible for him to escape. He said there was a mistake somewhere and that he would prove his identity if ven an opportunity. The guards only aughed and left him securely bound. The Deputy Sheriff explain«d to the hos- ital authorities that Murray had forfeited is bond in the Court of Crimina] Correction and that his family had told him that he’ was in the City Hospital. There was only one John Murray on the hospital books and , there could be no mistake. Thursday night a man applied for admis- sion at the front gate. He said his name was John Murray and that he lived at 418 South Fourth street. Dr. Bull remembered the Murray inc'dent of a few hours before and recalled how earnestly the patient had denied being in any trouble.

Scramble to Load Up With Stamps Be- the Discount Is Abolished. fore The St. Louis end of the United States Government is in the midst of a beer stamp famine. The beer consumer doesn’t care a rap whether the beverage has been stamped or not. But the brewer, in accordance with | revenue regulations, must stamp his pro- duct. In anticipation of the act of Con- gress whereby the 7% per cent rebate on beer stamps is to be abolished, brewers are making a run on the stamp department of the révenue offices. All stamps purchased before the Presi- ‘dent signs the bill are subject to the usual rebate. This is the cause of the run. The bill will probably be delivered to President McKinley Saturday noon. Thus the time is short, hence the anxiety of the brewers. “We haven’t got enough stamps to wad a shot-gun,” said Chief Clerk Cleveland of the ‘Revenue Office Friday morning. “We are unable to supply the demand,” he ‘continued, “and have telegraphed to Wash- ington for a new stock. Wednesday we wired for $600,000 worth. We have not yet received the consignment, but I expect it to-day. Then, of course, there will be a wild scram- ble, The whcle lot will doubtless be snapped up at once,” hen the run commenced early this week, the St. Louis office had about $600,000 worth of beer stamps in stock--apparently enough to meet all demands, e last of the stock was closed out Thursday and brewers are impatiently waiting for the arrival of the new consignment. If the stamps arrive from Washington not later than Saturday morning, the sales of the week will ag- regate 000. On this amount_ local rewers will scoop in a saving of 7% per cent, which amounts to $90,000. The greater part of the stamps on hand at the beg.n- ning of the run were taken by the An- heuser-Busch brewery—and now that insti- tution still wants more, The stamp cry is universal among brewers—great and small, Uncertainty as to the exact time when ‘the President will sign the bill, and the consequent narrow margin of time, together with the famine prevalent here, renders the situation interesting. While the collectors are not authorized to offer any — fa- c.lities to brewers in aiding them antici- pate the new law, they are com te all orders eo long as lasts. A Positive and Final Clearance.

Schneider is a little fat German gentleman who until Thursday talked a good deal about @ great many things. He stopped talk‘ng suddenly Thursday at noon, abandoned his customary haunts and is still in his own mind a fugitive from justice. Schneider is the victim of a cruel hoax ut up on him by the crowd that hangs od Ed Guntley’s saloon, 2800 South Broadway. When old man Mayer hanged himsel? in the boarding house next door early in the week, png was one of the men about the piace. “The day following the suicide and the next | day after that Schne‘der buttonholed every- body and told them of his connection with he ‘air. ne tld how he saw the old man hanging, | tried to lift him off the natl, but finding him too heavy let him down again, and called | for hela. Schneider told the story so often that his) friends decided to play a trick on him. They got a blank summons from the Po- lice Court and took ft-to a brewery and it fixed up with a lot of stamps and seals until it looked very formidable. Then they got a man Schneider didn’t know to turn up his coat collar and look mysterious. Schneider was betrayed into telling his story to the stranger. hen he had finished the stranger ~~ were grave and pro- e pseudo warlr . eg 4. broke the old man’s neck by lettin im drop,”’ he said, in solemn tones, looking at Schneider. “The Coroner proposes to fix the blame where it belongs. Some meddling person killed that old man. Whoever it was is wanted very budly at the Four Courts.’ Schneider saw the paper and turned pale. Somebody asked the mysterious stranger to havo a drink. While he was at the bar one of the men went over to Schneider and said: se nea oe genneider, with his e on stranger slipped over to the side door, slipped out and away in the direction of the river.
